With the improvement of people's living standards and the development of tourism, the demand for beer, soda and other beverages and canned foods is increasing. These require modern packaging and decoration to facilitate competition in the international market. In order to adapt to market requirements, people have developed packaging materials such as plastic films and spray-coated foils with good shielding properties, but their overall performance is not as good as that which can be compensated and improved through coating and lamination processes. Aluminum foil is a relatively perfect packaging material with many excellent properties, and has fully demonstrated its broad application prospects in many fields.
Development of aluminum foil production
China's aluminum foil production began in 1932, but it did not begin to develop rapidly until after the reform and opening up. After the 1990s, aluminum foil production has entered an important period. Not only has a large number of advanced equipment been introduced, but production management and technology development levels have also gradually moved towards modernization and internationalization. Since the beginning of this century, driven by strong market demand, aluminum foil production capacity has increased rapidly. At present, there are more than 90 aluminum foil manufacturers in China, equipped with 66 modern aluminum foil rolling mills and 39 universal cold rolling mills, with a total aluminum foil production capacity of 500,000 tons per year.
